Product Description
Written for intermediate students taking Spanish on a high school or college level, this book can be used in the classroom as a main text or as a textbook supplement. It covers every aspect of Spanish grammar and correct usage, beginning with verbs and analyzing verb tenses, the passive voice, reflexive verbs, verb usage in the subjunctive mood, imperative command verb forms, and uses of verb infinitives. The book s subsequent sections cover nouns, modifiers and the other parts of speech, with discussion of various interrogative forms, words that express negation, feminine forms, demonstratives and possessives, pronouns, diminutive and augmentative word formations, and more. Contemporary idioms are interspersed throughout the text, and the book s many exercises give students plenty of solid practice. Cartoon illustrations throughout the book help to demonstrate points of Spanish grammar.

 good product but Amazon's "like new" should be clarified December 21, 2008
C. S. Parks Garcia (Falls Church, VA USA)
This product is an absolutely fabulous and very acurate resource. I repeatedly checked it out from the library for about a year off and on before I decided maybe I should just go ahead and buy a copy of my own. br / br /My only dissatisfaction lies in Amazon's classification of "like new" meant, at least in my case, that the last few pages, i.e. the index in the back, were all spliced down the middle. Although this does not present that great of an inconvenience, I would have preferred that they state what the defect was if the "like new" category can include a defect where the book has been actually damaged and not just a bit worn around the edges.
The absolute best out there! October 25, 2007

4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have spent years at learning Spanish, and was looking for the best and easiest book out there that covered "everything there is to know" about Spanish grammar. I was fed up with hauling around several books at once, and didn't want to battle through long exercises and worthless dialogs. I JUST WANTED TO REVIEW my grammar from time to time. The author is obviously a second language learner because he presents each grammatical feature in a way that makes it clear and simple to understand. Don't waste your time with the others. I probably own them. Trust me -- this book should be a text in Spanish classrooms everywhere!
 very frustrating October 6, 2007

I used to be very fluent in Spanish and have had occasion over the past years the need to return to previous fluency. I also live in a city that is very bilingual and a state in which Spanish is an official language. I have lots of exposure to the Spanish language but want to refresh for pending international travel. I am approximately 70 pages into this review guide and hate it. These earlier pages are dedicated to verb conjugation and the coverage is far too sparse (too much all at once)and exercises often seem unrelated to immediately preceding text and rely too much on unfamiliar vocabulary. I am ready to return to a workbook I used previously, Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses I found that workbook very helpful.
